Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Splendid.

I had such an easy experience opening an account with Starling when a bunch of other “high street” banks turned me down for being a foreigner. I had ID and proof of residence, but they still treated me like I was something to be wary of. Then I found out about Starling, and opened an account without any fuss. The app is great, performs perfectly and is user friendly. They make banking accessible, as it should be. Couldn’t recommend them more. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

As the title says! I switched to Starling from Halifax which was the easiest thing to do. I have been amazed by how functional and easy the app is to use. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best account ever

The Starling bank has obviously thought very carefully about what a customer wants and needs ands it delivers it in spades . Why other banks couldn’t have done this before I have no idea, but Starling appears to be the “ common sense” bank out there. I’ve tried it with relatively small amounts of money over the past year- but as I high income individual (£150K+) I will now move away from my traditional bank of thirty years and make this my main bank Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Just easy to bank with - ,always respond, they make things clear and never let you down. Their features are exactly what you need, when you need it. I actually enjoy banking with them, which makes me want to take care of my finances. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
